DiffPlug Docs

Quickstart

On a video, hover to play at realtime, click and drag to play at your own speed.

Entity console

The entity console is the text box at top. You can use it to navigate your files. Ctrl+P will move the cursor there.

Diff list

Click the DiffPlug icon (or press Ctrl+D) to open the diff list. When you move the mouse off of the diff list, it will close automatically. If you drag a file onto the diff list, it will open automatically.

Command console (where is the toolbar?)

Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command console. The actions available are context-sensitive, based on the currently active pane.

Diff schemas

DiffPlug has multiple ways to compare files. To change which file in a diff is the before and which file is the after, drag their labels to swap. If you'd like to change the type of the comparison, right-click the label.

Legend

The following colors and font styles are used to encode a diff:

  • added
  • removed
  • changed
  • identical

In some cases, these can be mix and matched. For example, if an element named SystemGain were renamed to SysGain76, it would look like this:

  • SystemGain76

The color is blue, because the element changed (it was renamed), and the change in the name is encoded using font styles.
